The Flash Player 10.3.181.22 Firefox plugin includes Flash10a.ocx. Is this the IE ActiveX control that is for some reason also included with the Firefox plugin? Pete Boyd 09:29, 7 June 2011 (CEST)

I'm not seeing Flash10a.ocx in C:\Windows\system32\Macromed\Flash or anywhere else on my system with the latest IE and FF flash installed. JohnD 17:57, 7 June 2011 (CEST)

I can appreciate you probably think I'm seeing things, after that last update where I wrote Flash10a.exe rather than FlashUtil10a.exe :) but I'm definitely seeing this on multiple systems. Oh well, will report back if I find more info. Pete Boyd 20:57, 7 June 2011 (CEST)

My vote goes to the MSI version too. For the EXE installers I couldn't find out a working command line switch for the silent installation, neither /s nor /install. The same for the uninstallation via the executables in the %SYSTEMROOT%\system32\Macromed\Flash\ directory.

So I tried the MSI versions and they worked as expected at the first try; what's more, uninstallation works via the GUID string, and this makes the <remove> command a single liner without the need to check in the %SYSTEMROOT%\system32\ or %SYSTEMROOT%\SysWOW64\.

Current install section for Flash for IE seems to uninstall *both* players[edit]

This seems to uninstall both players, so if it runs second, you're left with only Flash for IE. I propose that this line and the comment underneath it be deleted. Any objections? Motmot 09:55, 15 June 2011 (CEST)

It was added on 7 June 2010, with no specific explanation and has been there ever since. It does seem to uninstall both versions, yet I've had it in my packages and never had any trouble with it. It appears that versions 10.1+ have the ability to do silent uninstalls of either activex or plugin with the FlashUtil.exe as shown here. Feel free to fix it if you want.
